US investigating apparent leak in Pentagon documents

The Department of Justice has opened an investigation into the leaks of a trove of apparent US intelligence documents that were posted on social media in recent weeks. The documents have revealed the US' efforts in spying on Russia, while also exposing the extent of US eavesdropping on key allies, including South Korea, Israel and Ukraine. The documents appeared last month on the social media platform Discord and revealed sensitive and highly classified material, officials said. They also divulged weaknesses in Ukrainian weaponry -- reportedly forcing the country's military to alter some plans as fighting continues in the country's eastern region. The Pentagon has initiated an "interagency effort" to determine the source of the leaksand assess their impact, Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh said Sunday.
